Low Carb Thin Mint Macaroon Cookies – Keto

I L.O.V.E. thin mints. 💖 There I said it! So I wanted to come up with some easy low carb cookies that had a similar flavor and texture as a thin mint candy.

For my first attempt I went with a coconut macaroon style because I thought it might work well, and boy did it!

Not only is this a super easy low carb cookie recipe (seriously, your kids can even make these,) but the flavor is spot on!

To be more authentic looking I could have coated these keto macaroons completely with chocolate, but I really didn’t think it needed that much to get the right flavor. Also, that would have made them a lot more work to make, not to mention add more calories/carbs per cookie.

After melting the chocolate I opted for swirling it over the top in a circular pattern rather than drizzling back and forth, which wastes a lot of the chocolate that ends up stranded on the parchment rather than garnishing the cookie.

In the end I actually liked the look that the circular pattern gave – and it was the perfect amount of chocolate per keto macaroon! 👍🏻🍫💯🍫

These low carb thin mint macaroons have a strong mint flavor that the dark chocolate enhances perfectly. The texture is not quite that of a thin mint, it’s much chewier from the coconut, but I absolutely loved it!

I brought these to a dessert party last week and even the kids loved them and couldn’t detect the flavor of the erythritol sweetener, which is well masked by the peppermint extract.

When even the kids are a fan of a low carb cookie recipe I know it’s a good one!

In case you’re wondering, these freeze really well and are actually delicious right out of the freezer – the cold enhances the flavor and the coconut is soft enough that they aren’t hard to bite through even when frozen. In fact I might save some to break up and add to a low carb ice cream recipe soon! 💡🍨🙌

If chocolate and mint is your jam like it is mine, you’re going to love these cookies! Make them STAT and then report back! 📢✏️📬

Just finished letting them cool and taking a picture for the family photo stream. I used unsweetened baking chocolate- not sweet enough- on the top so I needed to dust them with powdered erythritol afterwards. Great recipe, they are the cutest cookies ever (I used a tablespoon as the cookie scoop). ❤️

I just made these but since I didn’t have any peppermint extract I decided to embrace the coconut and go in a Mounds/Almond Joy direction. I subbed coconut milk for the almond milk and added roasted almonds to some of them. They came out delicious. I can’t wait for my husband to get home so he can try them. Thanks for the recipe! 😀
